6 Weeks - Ups and Downs and Up Again
By Sianny » Posted May. 9, 2014 6:58am - 243 views - 4 comments
After very little sleep due to my over active brain I was awoken by an oinking pig. Yes I was pretty shocked too, it was one of the battery toys like a yipping flipping puppy except its a pig that oinks. Weirdest thing to ever wake me up, 2 year olds are ever a source of wonder.
The heartburn has turned up too hand in hand with bouts of nausea exactly on week 6 just like it did with my son. My money is on another boy and the odds are with it as my husbands side of the family there is one girl, his aunt, every other person such as cousins and second cousins are all boys.
I've been trying not to think of this bean as even a bean let alone a boy.
I had been hoping that before or just after my appointment with Sue the impassive midwife (that's a story for another day though) in two weeks time I would have a private scan to reassure me that everything is okay in there but that s no longer able to happen.
It seems the tax man got confused over my husbands promotion and taxed him far too much, although they agreed it was a mistake it's going to be a long wait till we get that money back and with the impending payment for the house move we could no longer afford an extra cost such as a private scan.
Now I was looking at having to wait until I'm 12 - 18 weeks gone for the NHS dating scan so to me that's another 6 weeks at least of not knowing and not being able to bond for the fear of being hurt. You might be able to see why suddenly I had an issue getting sleep.
I'm not an at risk case so I wouldn't dream of taking up a slot at the Early Pregnancy Unit to get a free one as there are women that are in worse situations than myself who need those appointments. All I have is an impending sense of doom a bed that is apparently made of rock.
If I wasn't so tired I would have cried a little but I was worried I'd wake hubby.
I really wanted to start the professional baby bump photos too but without the scan, or money to buy a piece of maternity clothing I can wear until birth for the progression comparison it is now kind of pointless to glum ol' me. So I finally crammed in two hours of restless sleep to wake as an un-fun grumbly tired ball of hormones and stomach acid who is wondering if drop kicking an oinking pig is considered bad parenting?
Now I must have freaked out Hubby during the morning when I asked him to pick up a bottle for me on his way home, he was supposed to inquire as to my need to drink while pregnant and I was then to message back that the bottle would be Gaviscon for my acid indigestion.
It was a little lighthearted humor but he never replied. I thought nothing of this until the phone rang...
It was the Private Scan people calling to confirm my appointment. Dear battered and emotionally tortured and suffering hubby had felt so bad for me and my sudden need to get drunk (I was never very good at making jokes) that he raided every source he could to get us an appointment.
I did call and explain, mostly because I'm desperate for my heartburn stuff and didn't want him actually getting wine, thanking him and telling him I'm a grumpy old woman.
He didn't deny this. I'll let it slide seeing as what he had done for me.
Only two and a half week wait and I will finally see whats going on in there so fingers crossed.
Until then I am going to spend the weekend sleeping, after I've hidden the pig...

 | Comment from Sianny » Posted May. 10, 2014 12:49am Fingers crossed for you to get something of a decent night sleep hun. I've just woken up with heartburn but I did get a good 8 hours also I've hidden the pig! |
 | Comment from Mrs_HT » Posted May. 9, 2014 11:35pm Ha! Waking to the pig would have made me feel the same as you. I hope your restless sleep doesn't last. So happy you're getting scanned in a few weeks. It's always reassuring to ease your mind. Hope tonight is better! I'm in the bed now and I can feel the sleep ready to take over me today. Another late night last night and early morning has done a number on me I wouldn't wish it on anyone else. |
| Comment from Sianny » Posted May. 9, 2014 12:41pm It's good they had been keeping an eye on it for you but I would worry too, you're almost at the 12week mark which is great. I'll keep my fingers crossed for your scan to go smoothly x |
 | Comment from Kitten90 » Posted May. 9, 2014 12:19pm Glad you are able to get in to get a scan after all! That is the absolute WORST, not knowing if everything's okay. I still get really worried and I'm 11 weeks. Had 3 scans already and another one coming up next week but only reason for it is because of a subchorionic hemorrhage which doesn't seem to be a concern to them anymore so I'm trying not to worry about it either lol! |
